Questions & answers

How efficient is the AXITEC AC-310MH/120S?

The AXITEC datasheet guarantees at least 18.7% module efficiency for the 310 W class (up to 19.3% for 320 W). 310 W over 1.69 m² equals about 184 W per square meter.

How much energy does one panel produce in Los Angeles or Palmdale?

PVWatts v8 with typical-year weather gives about 520 kWh per year per 310 W panel in Los Angeles and about 569 kWh in Palmdale (20° roof, facing south, 14% system losses).

How much power does it lose on a hot roof?

With γ = −0.39 %/°C, at a 77 °C cell temperature (hottest modeled hour in Palmdale) output is about 20.2% below the STC rating.

How many panels fit on one string?

With the Tesla 1538000-xx-y (max DC 600 V, MPPT from 60 V, datasheet) in Los Angeles the calculator gives 3–14 panels per string (Voc at 2 °C = 42.2 V, Vmp at 74 °C cell = 25.7 V). Final design must follow the inverter manual and NEC 690.7.

What does the warranty cover?

15 years on the product and 25 years on performance: at least 85% after 25 years (manufacturer datasheet).

How big and heavy is it?

66.3 × 39.4 × 1.38 in (1,684 × 1,002 × 35 mm), 41.9 lb (19 kg).

What fire rating does it have?

UL 61730 fire rating Type 1 per datasheet.
